School Communication #9

Dear Parent/Guardian/Caregiver,

We are currently in the process of developing our next Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) to establish priorities and goals for the next few years. The Board of Trustees have contracted a third-party consultant, Maximum City, to facilitate the renewal process. This process includes reflecting on the current plan and consultation with the HCDSB community to inform the new plan.

We are currently in Phase 2 of the MYSP development process. In June 2023, all HCDSB stakeholders received an invitation to participate in the MYSP Consultation Survey. We are now reaching back out to schools in our system to increase student voice in this consultation process.

Tomorrow, your child’s class will have an opportunity to participate in the voluntary survey during first period.  Students may choose not to respond to a question, to skip any question they don’t want to answer, or to stop taking the survey at any time, without any negative consequences.

Please note:

  • The consultation survey is anonymous and confidential. Student names are not collected.
  • The feedback received will be analyzed by facilitators from Maximum City.
  • The information we receive from the third-party consultant will help our Board of Trustees and Senior Staff develop the next Multi-Year Strategic Plan.

We appreciate and value our students’ input on the MYSP Consultation Survey. If you do not wish for your child to participate in this consultation, please let your child’s teacher know directly.  Our school directory of email contacts can be found HERE.

For more information about the Multi-Year Consultation Survey, visit our website at: www.hcdsb.org/our-board/multi-year-strategic-plan/

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

Sincerely,

Clark McDougall – Principal
